My first weekend in Seville

Hola todos,

It's Sunday evening, and I'm preparing myself for my first day of orientation at school tomorrow. I'm really excited for school to start and get a nice schedule going! Monday and Tuesday we have orientation and then Wednesday will be my first day of class :)

This weekend I spent trying to get adjusted to my new home life and exploring Seville a bit. On Saturday, I walked around Seville with two friends from my program for about 4 hours. We got lost once, but luckily had our map to get us back in the right direction! We went into different stores--just browsing and checking on the Spanish styles, but I didn't really find anything I liked which is pretty rare when I go shopping! There was a store, though, that was named after my mom, Pamela. I didn't know you had your own line of clothing, Mom!

Pamela Fashion!

Today I went to church with my senora, Juani. It was about a three minute walk from the apartment, so that was nice! The church was small, but very pretty inside. Due to the heat, mass was only a half hour long--and we thought Fr. Chris's masses were short! My senora also gave me a "novela" to read, which I will probably start tonight. It will be a pretty challenging task, but I'm excited to get started. I've also been reading the daily newspaper after Manolo is done with it everyday--trying to expose myself to as much Spanish as possible :) Other than going to church today and reading, I didn't really do much of anything--partly because just about everywhere in Seville is closed in Sundays.

That's about it for today. I can't wait to tell you all about my orientation, first day of school, etc. :) I also wanted to add the view from my bedroom. Pretty isn't it?

Besos,
Lindsay
